Can-Am announces electric motorcycles

With a video on YouTube, the Can-Am company announces its intention to build motorcycles again. Several electric motorcycles are to be released in 2024.

 

Only dimly visible

Not much is known about the planned bikes yet. The teaser image and the video only show silhouettes of four motorcycles. Text overlays indicate that they will have electric drives and will probably be launched on the market in 2024.

 

“With the conversion of the motorcycle industry to electric drive, we saw an opportunity to revisit our motorcycle heritage and re-enter the market. This new product category is extremely important to us, and we are excited that the Can-Am motorcycles are the first EV models in BRP’s electric motorcycle lineup to be validated to consumers,” BRP President and CEO José Boisjoli said in a statement.

 

Not just off-road

It will be interesting to see what Can-Am is working on. Actually, they are known for vehicles that can deliver suitable performance on a wide variety of surfaces. What you see in the video, however, seems to be more for asphalted roads. At least a naked bike with a single-sided swingarm will probably be released. The silhouette is somewhat reminiscent of a Duke due to the squat shape. The huge display on the handlebars is striking; in fact, one almost has to speak of a mounted tablet here, since the display (certainly also with touch function) is already almost as wide as the ” fuel tank”.

On the last picture you can see an adventure model next to it, which is equipped with a quite high windshield.
